On my Deere 310L, there is a drain hose, connected to the hydraulic reservoir tank. It leaked when I got the hoe, so the Deere mechanic tightened the hose clamp. It was a bitch, because it was in an inaccessible spot. He had to use a 24 inch, 1/4 drive extension, underneath to tighten it. Well, it's leaking again. Any advice on tightening it, and keeping it tight? I have a feeling I'd have to pull the engine to get to it for real. Not something I really want to tackle.
Unfortunately I didn't see anyone who was able to figure it out. We always pulled the cab to access those hoses.
I'm confused. If it's a drain hose then why is it leaking? Not familiar with JD backhoes.
Put one of these In place of #34 here
Yep drain, rubber rots and starts leaking. Usually not a loose clamp from the few I did.
Ahh - when I saw drain hose I was thinking the hyd tank drain.
My guess is the hose is shot where it goes over the barb. No clamp will fix the problem, you need to cut about 1/2" off the hose. With new hose on the barb, about any clamp will fix the problem for as long as the original solution lasted.
Me too confused. Is it leaking hydraulic fluid? If that's a yes, why is it leaking? I must be missing something here. Joe H
sorry meant return line
Oh. Get used to it or fix it. Or wait for the elves to show up in the night and fix it for you. That doesn't actually work, but I keep hoping. Joe H
